The problem with letting everyone make everything is that kids never have the experience of saying to themselves "well I didn't make this, maybe I should go try something different that I may be good at and that I might like even better". And because they don't have that experience in trying something different and enjoying it and/or succeeding at it, they don't have the ability to see how there are other potentially great possiblities out there when they get cut from the sorority they thought they were destined for.

That's where the balance comes in.

Co-sign. The idea that it has to be all one (complete inclusion with no losers) or all the other (total competition) is short-sighted.

We touched on this in another thread, but the thing is there's hierarchies and "tiers" even in kids' activities, among the moms.
Say a kid loves baseball and HATES soccer...but soccer is the "in" thing run by all the "in" parents and the Little League isn't. Some parents in that case won't even let their kids try out for LL.
I have nothing against SAHMs but there are ones who perpetuate this kind of crap who really need to go GET A FREAKIN JOB.
Disclaimer: I do not have children or run in these circles. I absorb enough of it through my friends and Facebook.

Hmm...for a second I thought this wasn't passive aggressive at all.
Oh yeah, no I didn't - just kidding.

Hmmmm when someone starts their sentence with "Hmmm" is it ever anything but someone trying to be bitchy while pretending to be nice?
Hmmmm.

You act like the tiers are fairies. If she doesn't believe in them, does that mean they don't really exist?!

Hmmm, I thought you had stopped post stalking me.
But since you obviously have anything I ever posted on a DVD that you keep under your pillow, please quote one post where I ever said I don't believe that there is such a thing as tiers.
